Okay, so I've got a meeting from hell this morning. It could be worse--my finger could have eaten my wedding band.
Warning: Sad story and Really Gross Accompanying Photo.
Via reader Podwall, who refuses to suffer alone. As do I.

Posted by: Belle at September 2, 2004 02:20 PMWhile this is gross, thyroid problems are underdiagnosed in a shockling way. Feeling brain-foggy while gaining weight in a rapid matter don't make for a fun life. It took me two years for my own thyroid ills to get diagnosed and my foreign-born doctor refused to do the simple blood test--she figured I was "stressed". She's not with her medical group anymore, after my lawyer got through with her.
This woman's TSH was 404! Yikes!
